ABSTRACT:
A compact respirator, which is independent from a central air supply includes at least two gas supply lines, which lead to a gas mixer in the inspiration line. The gas lines are part of a mixing and metering unit, wherein one gas supply line has a compressor for ambient air and the at least one additional gas supply line has a metering unit for an auxiliary gas. Upstream of the gas mixer, there is a gas volume flow meter each in each of the gas supply lines. A pressure sensor is arranged in the inspiration line downstream of the gas mixer. The expiration line contains a discharge valve with a pressure sensor arranged upstream of the discharge valve. A central control unit is connected to the compressor, the metering unit, of which there is at least one, to the discharge valve, as well as to the pressure sensors. The gas volume flow meters, and control unit are provided for controlling the breathing pressure and the mixed gas composition after comparison of the signals measured by the pressure sensors as well as by means of the gas volume flow meters with predetermined set points.
